In this blog you will learn about how request OpenText License and install to system. In our S/4 HANA implementation customer needs integrate Document Management System from OpenText.

SAP xECM by OpenText 16.2 is chosen by customer as Document Solution.  customer leverage as Document Archiving first because each particular business scenario has attached document as consideration purpose.
